July 25, 1898 marks one of the most significant dates in Puerto Rico’s history.
On this day, U.S. forces landed in Guánica, beginning the military campaign that led to the end of more than four centuries of Spanish rule and the start of a new chapter under U.S. sovereignty.
Today, we remember the people who lived through this historic moment and honor the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of the Puerto Rican people.
History should never be forgotten—it should be learned, discussed, and passed on to future generations.
